The world number 33 broke Canadian Andreescu's serve five times, including in her opening service game.

"I played really well today," Boulter said. "I came out here with nothing to lose.

"I just wanted to come out and enjoy it. Everything was kind of clicking and, apart from the first service game, everything was really good.
